Abstract
In her introduction to this collection, Guinevere Nell applauds Austrian scholars for their noteworthy contributions to economics. However, in her view, contemporary Austrians are too often motivated — and constrained — by the search for free-market conclusions, leading them to neglect both the problems of unregulated markets and the promise of alternative forms of organization. To remedy this myopia, Nell’s book attempts to apply Austrian theory outside “free market boundaries.”
